On Thursday, March 29, the College of Central Florida Foundation will celebrate the charter members of its newly formed Founders Society. A reception begins at 5:15 p.m. and will be held in Founders Hall at the CF Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road. A wall of honor will be unveiled recognizing the Founders Society donors, who each have given $100,000 or greater to support the College of Central Florida.
“As we considered how to more formally recognize donors with giving histories at this level, we thought about what their philanthropy enables CF to accomplish,” said Dr. James Henningsen, CF president. “Their investment in CF helps us meet and exceed the expectations of its founders. The name Founders Society is certainly fitting as is creating a way to recognize this group of donors in Founders Hall.”
There are 65 donors who will be recognized on the Founders Society Wall of Honor. Their giving histories represent nearly $20 million that has directly impacted students, faculty and the community since 1959. The CF Foundation is a public, nonprofit tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization providing resources to help the college carry out its mission of providing quality educational services to residents in Marion, Citrus and Levy counties.
